‍
Please ensure that you fully understand and can afford to assume the associated risks before using any of our Services.

This risk description lists some, but not all, of the risks associated with owning, trading and using digital assets in general, and the use of any of our products and services in particular nor can it explain how the risks relate to your personal circumstances. Therefore, the risks mentioned below should not be considered as exhaustive, and other material risks may apply to our services. Therefore, we recommend you perform your own research before using our services.
‍
By using Klink Services, you agree to the Terms of Service, Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy, and to this Risk Disclosure explicitly.

A) General

1. By using our Services, you agree that Klink Finance and its affiliates (collectively, “we,” “our,” or “Klink”) do not provide any legal, tax, or financial advice and you are strongly advised to obtain independent legal, tax, or financial advice prior to making any financial decision, including buying, trading, holding or using digital assets. You are solely responsible for understanding and assessing whether the risks associated with digital assets are appropriate for you.

2. Klink does not make any offers, recommendations, or invitations for you to deal in digital assets or use any services, and does not consider your personal circumstances, financial situation, needs, or goals. We recommend that you carefully assess your financial situation and capabilities and use only those funds that you can afford to lose before making any financial decision.

3. It is your obligation to ensure that you understand and have made an independent assessment of the suitability and appropriateness of a transaction into which you are entering and the nature and extent of your exposure to the risk of loss in light of your own objectives, financial and operational resources, and other relevant circumstances.

4. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

B) Risks Related to Digital Assets Generally
‍
1. Cryptocurrency lacks the protection of regulated investment services such as a centralized regulatory authority that can take corrective measures to protect the value of cryptocurrencies. These assets are highly volatile in nature and their value may be affected by unpredictable events, including but not limited to performance of world markets, interest rates, changes in taxation on income and capital, foreign exchange rates, regulatory and legislative changes, technological developments and market sentiment, which can result in significant price fluctuations within a short period of time and can lead to financial losses. Before investing in cryptocurrencies, you should be aware that the risk of loss when trading, investing or owning digital assets can be significant.

2. Digital assets are not deemed as legal tender in many jurisdictions and there is no guarantee that they will be accepted for their intended purpose at any time in the future. The availability and liquidity of the marketplace may be subject to limitations or violations, and there is no guarantee of the price at which you can sell or exchange your digital assets

3. The investor in digital assets must understand that the nature of digital assets carries a risk of fraud or cyber-attack, including rollback attacks or blockchain reorganizations. Digital asset transactions are not reversible. Erroneous transactions may result in the irreversible loss of your funds.

4. Where you hold digital assets in your on-chain Wallet, you must be careful when maintaining your private keys and backup phrases. Loss of private keys and backup phrases may result in irreversible loss of your funds. Due to the decentralized nature of blockchain, there is no central party that may restore your private keys, extract your funds or reimburse you for your losses. Any third-party gaining access to your Digital Assets Wallet or Wallet approved can extract your funds, and you may not be able to identify or find such parties. Never provide any person with your wallet’s private keys or backup phrases.

5. There is a risk that once you send digital assets to an address, you may lose access and any rights to those digital assets indefinitely or permanently, in particular due to an incorrectly provided address. Losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be possible to recover.

6. Digital assets that are intended to mimic or follow the price of another asset (such as any fiat currency or commodity) may not always accurately reflect such prices, which may fluctuate above or below their perceived value.

7. Digital assets are largely unregulated in most jurisdictions, and limited protection (if any) may be afforded to users in the event of a loss. Digital asset exchanges and service providers may not be subject to regulatory supervision.

8. Certain jurisdictions have their own treatment of digital assets, and the cross-border nature of the blockchain and of digital assets may make them subject to the laws of various jurisdictions. You must always make sure that any use you make of any digital asset is compliant with all applicable laws.

9. Different jurisdictions may impose specific tax rules and treatments on digital assets. You must ensure you understand the tax implications of your activities, and always comply with all reporting and payment obligations applicable to you. All taxes resulting from your use of the Services are your sole responsibility.

10. Blockchain technologies are susceptible to a wide variety of risks, from malicious attacks to technical difficulties and failures, as well as hard forks, which may result in the loss of digital assets transacted or held over the blockchain, decrease in the market value of digital assets, increased transaction costs or delays in execution of transactions. In case of such an event Klink Shall not be responsible for any failure and/or mistake and/or breach and/or error which shall occur on the blockchain or in any other network or system where the currencies are being traded or exchanged.

11. You should be aware that the risk of loss in trading or holding digital assets can be substantial. As with any asset, the value of digital assets can go up or down and there can be a substantial risk that you lose money buying, selling, holding, or investing in digital assets.
